CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 337,440, dated March 9, 1856.

Application filed September 18, 1885. Serial No. 177,490. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.'

Beit known lthat l, CONRAD SOHIFFERLY, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Fort Vayne, in the county of Allen and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Churns, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawlngs.

My improvement in churns has for its object to produce a larger product in less time than has hitherto been accomplished with the same amount of labor and material, and to accomplish this result with the simplest mechanism and at minimum cost; and the invention consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of the parts to produce this result, substantially as hereinafter more fully shown and described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of my invention, also showing the position of certain parts in dotted lines, and Fig. 2 is a front view of my invention with the receptacle or can removed.

In the construction of my churn I rigidly secure on the inside of the bottom of the creamreceptacle A the metallic socket A, and to the outer side of the cream-receptacle A the metallic socket b, for reception of the angular metallic bar b. The dat bar b projects vertically above socket b, and is then projected at a slight angle inwardly immediately above the rim of the churn pot or receptacle, and bar b projects vertically from its inner and nearly horizontal point to near its upper end, where it is bent at right angles and perforated for reception and guidance of the dasherrod B.

The crank-bracket C consists of a bowed or curved piece of at metal, whose ends are conformed to the plane of bar b', to which it is rigidly secured, bar b being apertured in a horizontal plane with a corresponding central aperture in bracket C. The journal c of cogwheel F is passed through these two apertures, and has its bearings in bar b and bracket C, and has secured on its outer end crank D, for actuating the vertical cog-wheel F, which latter meshes in pinion G. Pinion G is rigidly secured to the tubular standard e', which latter, at its lower end, is connected to the upper surface of cross-bar f, and to which cross-bar is secured on a line parallel with the tubular standard e an upwardly-projecting rim or collar, d', which is designed to fit in a correspondingly-shaped recess formed in the cover of the churn, half of such recess being in each of the two sections comprising said cover.

Through tubular standard e is passed a cylinder, c, which at its upper end is connected with the pinion G, and at its lower end with the inner surface of the cross bar f, and through this cylinder the dasher-rod B is vertically reciprocated by means of the pitman h, which latter is pivotally secured thereto at ils upper end, its lower end being provided with pin i, which is projected through the slot j of cog-wheel F, and there nutted to secure it thereto.

The dasher consists of the spool G', rigidly secured on the lower end of dasher-rod B, the lower disk of which is much larger than its upper one, both of said disks being perforated vertically as a means of increasing the friction caused by agitation of the cream, and the dasher also consists, in part, of the revolving beater-frame H, having centrally disposed therein, as aforesaid, spool G.

The revolving beater-frame H has two vertical bars, Z, which are perforated horizontally, in order to increase friction in agitating the cream, and is also provided with the cross-bars f and h', and to the latter is rigidly secured the pivotal pin f', which is inserted in socket A', in order to retain the dasher in position. As the spool G reciprocates vertically and the revolving beater-frame H revolves horizontally on its bearings, (pin f in socket AQ) the upwardly-projecting arm or collar d', which is tte'd in the recess of churn-cover d, serves as an adjunct in holding the dasher in its proper position.

Thus constructed and arranged it will be observed that the parts comprising the dasher in agitating the cream have two dissimilar but simultaneous motions.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. In a churn, the combination, with the re- IOO the erunk-braekeb, of the pinion connected to the top bar of the beater by a tubular standard and a cylinder, and the upwardly-projecting rim or collar tted in a recess in bhe churncover, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I aix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CONRAD SCHIFFERLY.
